POETS ON SITE
An ongoing cooperative poetic writing and performance group initiated by Kath Abela and Rick Wilson with Pasadena poets in 2008. Poets write in inspiring environments in response to nature, science, and the arts, and are accompanied by interpretations on site by musicians, dancers and other performing artists, drawing on their own performing skills in every area. Poets on Site is an open group, poets and other performing artists are welcome to suggest participation. Currently over 100 poets, musicians and dancers have been part of Poets on Site, included in different programs. Our most recent program, for APC gallery in Torrance had the participation of 35 poets, a poet dancer and Rick Wilson on four different historical and world flutes.
Poets on Site has performed 14 programs at various cultural sites celebrating their inspiration and has just completed the first U.S. Poetry Audio Tour of a museum's collection, for the Pacific Asia Museum, in Pasadena.
Poets on Site may be found in art museums, galleries, gardens, science centers, on hiking trails, at concerts, and any unusual or beautiful place. We hope to present many more events and books, in the spirit of poetic adventure.
Poets on Site has published 14 books in progress for re-printing, a list of titles of publications is upcoming. Each is inspired by a different site of inspiration.
Poets on Site have been invited and presented programs for these hosts
